CMOM = Capacity Management Operation & Maintenance 6-Year Roadmap
CMOM Initiative Examples Decision Making Algorithyms Begin Cleaning Algorithm Is there a cleaning frequency? No Severity = Heavy Or Medium? Yes Pipe has previous cleaning history? No Begin CCTV Algorithm logic Yes No Yes Is there a cleaning record after CCTV record Yes Severity = Heavy Or Medium? No Severity = None? No Span = Number of months since last cleaned Set NewFreq = Default Cleaning Frequency No Yes Yes Span <= 1 month? Yes Max Maintenance Finding > = ER threshhold No Max Maintenance Finding > = PR threshhold No Yes Yes Potential increase in frequency Potential decrease in frequency No Set X = to ER days Set X = to PR days Is record date within window or early? No Is record date within window or late Use span to select frequency based on the lead lag window for each frequency. For example, if span is 11 months, 12 month frequency is selected. If span is 7 months, 6 months is selected. Set NewFreq = 1 Month Is ER Freq Add > 0? No Is there a cleaning schedule? Is there a cleaning schedule? No Is PR Freq Add > 0? Yes Yes Yes No Yes Yes Yes No Valid Invalid Count consecutive similar findings within selected frequency. Set Y = ER Freq Add Set Proposed Clean Date = CCTV Date + X Set Y = PR Freq Add Count consecutive similar findings Does count of findings meet freq change rule? Set Proposed Clean Date = CCTV Date + X Proposed Clean Date < Next Clean Date No Set Proposed Clean Date = CCTV Date + X No Yes Yes Does count of findings meet freq change rule? No No Recommendation Create Rec to : 1. Add a Cleaning Schedule with a Freq = Y 2. Next Clean Date = Proposed Clean Date Create Rec to Set Next Clean Date = Proposed Clean Date Create Rec to : 1. Add a Cleaning Schedule with a Freq = Y 2. Next Clean Date = Proposed Clean Date Yes Create Rec to: 1. Modify freq per freq change rules 2. Set Next Clean Date = Current Next Clean Date + New Freq Old Freq End Cleaning Algorithm Create Rec to: 1. Add cleaning schedule with Freq = NewFreq 2. Set Next Clean Date = Clean Date + New Freq No Recommendation End CCTV Algorithm logic 25
